Hey all,

Im with 2007 batch, my time line in my signature, my question is, after document requested stage they came back to me asking for some further documents and updated bank statement again, which i sent last week, do you guys think
im pass the refusal stage? or am i just being a little too optimistic??

thanks

Dear Candadianlover,

Don't be worried about the refusal !! Update with documents as honestly as possible. Refusal could be at any time (during background checking etc..), but it is only for those who have problems in their files. Be patient and; definitely be optimistic.. cheers ..

Hi,
IMO, CHC has introduced the fast track program to effectively lure the old applicants which will serve no good. I feel that CHC should announce a final deadline of how many months it will take to process PR applications filed before Feb,2008. Recently, I saw that the upper limit of the processing times for FSW applications at CHC.New Delhi has been exteded from 75 months to 80 months. This might again change and the CHC might attempt to save their shortcomings from the large pool of applicants. Or not??? Like this we are heading nowhere. I feel that with the help of immigration consultants/lawyers, we can ask for a final deadline from the CHC to that we have a clear idea of how much we have to wait. I feel no harm in making such a representation coz Canada is not on the MOON.

Guys we should come up with some ideas/projections that will save us precious time.

hI cmehandru,
I am agree with your views and is ready to do something effective in this regard so ,that the CIC have to consider our cases on priority basis.Please keep it up.

Hi Rimjim,
Can we send a letter/email to our respective consultants and discuss this idea with them. If they also support it, we can definitely find out a way to query CHC about giving final deadline. Of course, we have to do it together na dmake a pipeline of all those aplicants who are in the same boat. I am going to visit my consultant's head office soon. We should also narrow down the convincing answers of our consultants and be very straightforward coz they normally ask us to wait 1-2months everytime. like this, 18months have passed since i sent my updated docuuments to CHC and still have to wait. Huh!!!

 

[Rimjim]

cmehandru, I think we should write a letter to immigration minister also with regard to our concerns i.e delay in processing our application as well old applicants huge backlog & also can send mails.I have heard that there are some journalist namely Harleen Kaur ,Gumeet S etc.. in canada are covering canada immigration and had also write articles on delay in processing so,we should also request them to raise our voice through newspapers articles.

Hi rimjim,
tht sounds very convincing. I am ready to write such letter. what shud i do? surely, the journalists would be of great help. we shud look here for more people who would like to raise their voice and collectively complain against the covet attitude of CHC which is accepting application indefinitely and making applicants wait indefinitely. Anything you would like me to do, please let me know.

thanks,

Old cases are currently starting to move. From the threads here,some members have received letters from the various CICs indicating that some cases are being sent to Ottawa. I guess thats good news since the backlog will surely reduce by the day. In some offices around,others have already got requests for updated documents. In some instances like mine,I got requests for passport/RPRF/Medicals all together. I think it's a way for making files move. Let's see how it goes. Good luck to everyone under old rules banner!!!!!


Hey Rajan,

congrats firstof all, for coming out of so called 'olD RULE applicants" banner.......hey can u imagine now for 2006 applicants timeline to get processed at newdelhi under old rule........

Rajan,

This is what CHC strategy is:

1) People who have applied under fast track i.e after Feb 28, 2008 are of course being given priority because they need people from those 38 categories.

2) For applicants applying before Feb 28, 2008, CHC's across, i guess are taking up only those case for processing whose occupation falls in ministirial list. The rest whose occupation are not on ministirial list will be processed as usual unless their situation changes e.g. they get a canadian spouse, they get a job offer, stuff like that.

Hi Friends!

It is good idea to send letters and mail to concerned minister and others with regard to long delay in processessing old cases and many other problems faced by us due to huge backlog.We can try to write some views and comments to channel and newspaper with request for the coverage in their nespaper or channel on the said issue as said by Rimjim and cmehandru .You may send comments to the Honourable Jason Kenney at Minister@cic.gc.ca.
and mail to:

The Honourable Jason Kenney, P.C., M.P.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 1L1

Yes this is a good suggestion , that keep sending mails to Minister and build pressure to decide the cases of old applicants as they are doing with Fast Track. They may increase their staff to clear the backlog of old applicants. so many solutions are there

You wish. I personally think that they are fully aware of the situation but haven't got an answer to the dilemma.

Hi Friends,
To discuss and plan something to raise our voice for timely processing of cases filed before feb 2008, there isa meeting being organised at Jalandhar city and members from other cities of punjab will also be attending. We might also try to talk to applicants from london/elsewhere and findout some solution. If a good number of people attend this meet, I am sure we can find some solution. Some guys have links in the Indian as well as canadian media, some have found a way to reach the Canadian MPs. I also want tomake it clear that NOBODY HAS ANY INTENTION of something like dharna which is totall useless in worst case scenario. so the idea is to be able to technically correct and magnify our frustration and make the Canadian government aware of what we all are going thru. In case anybody has any more questions or would lke to discuss something, you can cal me. please post me a message and i will call u.
